Halva ( helva)

We grew up eating this.

Halva

main

1 cup semolina flour (just plain semolina is what it is
125 ML BUTTER
2 tbsp pine nuts


syrup

1 cup sugar, 1 cup water, 1 cup milk


cook the main ingredients on med low heat until golden brown in a large pot, stirring constantly. In another pot mix syrup ingredients u til boiled. Pour the syrup very slowly into the the pot with semolina while stirring with a long wooden spoon. The mixture will be bubbly and will spit so be careful. Stir until the mixture leaves the sides of the pot.( it will become doughy) no more than a couple of minutes.

Remove from heat with the lid on and wait 5 min. when cooled fluff with a fork and serve with sprinl;ed cinnamon.
